Fire Fire





So, we were watching TV last night and i saw a fire ball from the corner of my eye. Thought it was just an eye thing, but Nick saw it too. So, we went to the window to investigate and saw the apt across the road on fire. Quite horrifically scary. And there were people in the apartment directly to the west of it. Don't know if they didn't realise how bad it was or just wanted to stay. That was so scary I had to ring 911 to tell someone that they were there. Anyway, it went on for ages, and it makes you realise how brave firemen are. They were in the apt and directly above it as bits of building were literally flying off. The buildings look so robust but you can see from the 'after' photo, the extent of the damage.

Photos really don't capture what it was like but still worth sharing.

guys, also have you looked at your home owners insurance policy? we are looking at ours now as we need to renew and it looks like we dont have enough coverage, you should really think about this and if something happened what kind of coverage would you have.

yes we would need to increase as we will soon have a kitchen as opposed to one gas ring and a grim sink...all those little things like ovens and cooktops are worth a fortune
